Queensland Phone Number Safety Intelligence

What do community-submitted reports reveal about phone activity in Queensland? This dashboard tracks classification trends, lookup anomalies and risk signals across QLD-allocated numbers. Allocation reflects numbering origin - not subscriber ownership.

Queensland Telecommunications Risk Context

QLD reporting intensity, scam prevalence and submission velocity - benchmarked against national figures. Where does this state sit relative to the rest of Australia?

Risk Intensity Index
0.5x
Ratio of state scam-report density (per 100K pop.) to national average, derived from ABS population estimates. A value below 1.0 means fewer scam reports per capita than the national average.
QLD Scam Ratio

Distinct phone numbers with new reports in the last 30 days. Indicates current reporting breadth across QLD.

Emerging Risk Signals in QLD

Rapid report accumulation or shifting classifications on the same number - these patterns stand out from the baseline and warrant closer attention.

Rapid Report Accumulation

Two or more reports filed within seven days. When multiple people independently flag the same number in a short window, the signal carries more weight.

Classification Escalation

Some contributors classify these as scam while others disagree. That split makes the number harder to categorise definitively - watch for how the balance shifts as new reports come in.

Multi-Report Numbers

Ranked by all-time report count. Independent reports from different contributors on the same number build a stronger signal - though classifications are user-assigned and can shift as new data arrives.

Lookup Activity Trends - QLD

Lookup spikes often precede formal reports - a surge in searches for a particular number suggests people are noticing something before they submit.

Lookup-to-Report Ratio
0.1x
30-day lookups per report filed. Below 1.0 means more reports than lookups - contributors are actively engaged.

High Lookup / Low Report Anomalies

Frequently searched but rarely reported - these numbers sit in a gap between public curiosity and formal submission. High lookup volume alone does not confirm any risk.

Localised Reporting Concentration

Larger population centres naturally produce more submissions, so raw volume alone does not indicate disproportionate risk. Select any locality below to see its number-level breakdown.
